The world confuses me

[fightingquaker13]

I tend to think like why in the heck am I working my behind off for all of those dead beats that are having fun goofing off at my expense.  I predict, if this socialist tide progresses much further, we will see a massive dump in productivity at some point when the producers say enough.  It has happened before and if we are on the path of socialosers then it will happen here to.

Atlas Shrugged, Rastus. Long, pedantic and home of the 34 page speech, but still worth reading. I'm not a Randroid, but Ayn Rand is well worth remembering. If Atlas is too long, try Anthem, its about a hundred pages.

ratcatcher, that video's something else!  Kinda like watching a garbage truck going around Sears Point at 100mph!   

VERY impressive!

The huey's in the pictures I've seen of Tiawan's military are the OLD underpowered ones.  Not the "super huey's" with the bigger engines.  Cant say what version Chinook's they're running.  I thought production on BOTH had stopped in the early 70's though.

It always amazes me to see a Chinook do a headstand (go almost vertical). It seems like that would be aeronautically impossible...........But as they say, Looks can be deceiving.

Taiwan and Japan may be building them under license.

Remember too that the Huey is like the AK of helicopters. You can learn to fly it in a month, fix it with duct tape, and its good enough for what is for, and cheap per unit. Yeah, you can get better, but for a work horse chopper, its hard to beat.

FURTHER CONFUSION!  


NOTE:  "American made fishhooks", "Hand tied in china"...

It's seriously cheaper to manufacture hooks here, ship them to China so somebody can tie on a 10" piece of monofilament then ship them back to the other side of the world again so they can be sold in Joe's bait shop for less than a dollar per 6 pack?!?  

Why is our broke, in debt up to our eye's country not increasing trade terriffs, taxes, and a dozen other things to stop this crap!??!  

I just saw the little flag and went on my way.  Wish I'd seen "Hand tied in China" before buying.    Won't happen again.  Eagle Claw Products

That deserves a large WTF?

The Spanish translation of every word pi$$es me off as well.
